Even more Hamilton

It occurs to me that if I said about someone "I know that person like I know my own mind" I would mean "I consider my interactions with that person to be a dark and unrewarding quagmire of poorly mapped quicksand, unscalable barriers, and bear traps. Bear traps that randomly catch fire. I know this person like I can navigate the fire swamp, is what I'm saying. If I told her that I love him, fuck knows what would happen. Could be fine. Could be lying. Could be the second half of the Blank Space video."

Angelica's mind is clearly more organized.

Wait, you think that if Hamilton had married Angelica, if he had shared his life with someone who totally grasped his intellectual and ideological passions and didn't try to get him to sit his ass down and breathe once in a while, he would have been less likely to self-destruct?
